MO CUSHLE

2019
Répertoire

Mo Cushle, "my flesh, my blood" in Gaelic. A sung self-portrait where each part of the body speaks.

A musical one-woman show in which Marion Corrales lends her voice to every part of her body—her stomach, her eyes, her mouth, her spine—to tell what remains buried there: the stories we keep silent, the emotions we hold back, the truths we dare not speak. French and English intertwine, acoustic and electronic sounds blend, and her voice carries the pulse of a heart yearning for liberation.

"One day you finally knew what you had to do. Write and sing your Mo Cushle. Share your deepest emotions; they can't stay trapped inside your body."

Mo Cushle was born from a pivotal encounter: that of Marion Corrales with the American dancer and choreographer Anna Halprin in San Francisco, in the shade of ancient redwood trees. There, Halprin developed a healing method through dance, drawing, and creative writing, based on a conviction: our stories remain trapped within our bodies, and it is through movement that we can learn to listen to them. From this experience emerged an anatomical pop: an album and a show where each song gives voice to a part of the body, freed from having finally told its story. Ivory speaks of eyes and our relationship to appearances; Fahrenheit travels a story from hand to hand, from childhood to adulthood.

On stage, Mo Cushle encourages everyone to rediscover their physicality, that which is most alive within themselves.

The melodies were born from the long-standing collaboration between Marion Corrales and guitarist Alexandre Bellando, with whom she opened for Ludovico Einaudi, Imany, and Get the Blessing (musicians from Portishead). In the studio, she collaborates with drummer Ben McConnell (Beach House) and cellist Valentin Mussou (Woodkid) to find the perfect balance between acoustic and electronic sounds.
